NEW YORK Dec. 9.-Herr Johann Most. the
Anarchist. who was convicted of nisdemeanor,
was arraigned in the General Sessions Court to-
day. His counsel Mr. Howe, argued in his be-
half for a new trial. He contended that Most
had not been convicted any fair evidence,
but that an unfair prejudice had been instilled
into the case; the jury convicted him because of
sentiments published in Most's books, three
wears ago. Counsel argued on hehalf of liberty
of speech.
Judge Cowing said he would deny the motion,
but that he would grant a certificate to the
Superior Courts general term, when the whole
case might be heard. When the clerk Of the
court asked Most what he had to say why
sentence should not be pronounced on him.
Most. in very dramatic manner, said:

" COAL Or BL00D!"
The Battle Cry of Western Kansas Farmers
as They Robbed Passing Train.

KANSAS CITY Dee. S.-Since the cold weather
set in reports of lack of coal in western Kansas
have been heard here, but it not until
recently that anything definite could be
learned.i dispatch from Syracuse, Kansas,
reports that during the past three weeks coal
has been very scarce in the extreme western
part of the State, which has caused vast
amount of suffering among the settlers living
from twenty-five to seventy five miles from
railroad. Hundreds of cars of New Mexico
and Colorado coal passed through billed to
Kansas City and other points east. but it was
only now and then that the company could be
induced to drop Oft q car for the Syracuse
market.
Saturday evening large party of farmers
took forcible possession of a train of coal at
Syracuse and held it good portion of the
night, until they had filed their wagons They
left money to pay for what they had taken.
Neither seals nor the growls of the trainmen
had any terrors for these determined farmers.
for, as one OF them put 1t, they We're bound
to have coal or blood" In Garden City hundreds
of families either entirely destitute of the
means of keeping warm or are huddling over a
few scant embers. This is not the situation
in Garden City alone, but in every other town
in the western part of Kansas. Those who
holding down claims throughout the country
are unable to procure this necessary article,
and should blizzard set in hundreds must
inevitably perish from the cold. The trouble
seems to be with the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railroad Company, which refuses to
furnish transportation from the vast beds on
either side of this section of country But one
carload was received at Garden City last week
to supply the wants of its 1000 inhabitants and
the farmers of the great section of country who
rely upon the city for supplies. This was dealt
out few pounds at time, none receiving
sufficient to last over two or three days, and
many of the most needy being overlooked in
the distribution
Threats are openly made of burning the rail-
road property all along the line in western
Kansas should this condition of affairs be much
more prolonged The mild and open weather
of the past few days has been godsend. but
prophesy the dire consequences of
blizzard snow blockade. Seven dollars
and a half per ton is gladly paid for coal, but
none can be procured even at that f1gure The
people are becoming desperate. Great crowds
gather at the railroad yards at various points
threatening to rob the engines which pass
through of their fuel. None of the fault can
be assigned to the coal Dealers as they do
everything in their power to relieve the suffer
ing. but have hundreds of untitled orders for
which cash has been paid.
